Fluval Edge with 15 Gallon sump

Couple small things to update.

My calcium was low, and the 150W halide was too close to the tank, so it started bleaching the coraline white. So I raised the light 6" and everyone seems extremely happy.

Also got a couple zoa frags from Kevin at Red Coral

New orange zoas

You can't even see these really... My tank was not liking my blackberry camera today lol. These are the new green zoas

My random one green Paly is popping out babies

Good old candy canes chillin away

I will get some SLR pics tomorrow.

wow that looks sweet man! You almost have as much support infrastructure around that little nano as I do on my 150g reef

Hahaha yeah it was a little overkill. My plan was to try beginner SPS in it like birdsnest and monti's n' such. But i've been to pre-occupied with the bigger tank project. Oh and building a deck. And Landscaping my house. And renovating my bathroom.....Think I might have too much on the go...

Here are some better iPad pics

You can actually see the other Zoas! lol

Some LED actinic shots

Very well done.
Just out of curiosity what does the temp range a closed tank like that from the MHI?
On my 34 gallon I had to add a chiller in order to maintain a stable temp.

I've never actually had a problem with fluctuating heat from the halide at all. I do have A/C in my house though, so that might contribute to the stability. But it stays constant 80 degrees all the time.

Quick update. I have added a few new corals.

Red/Green Blasto frag
Green with Purple center zoas
Green with Orange center zoas
Blue with Purple center zoas
Black with Pink center zoas
Purple Polyp Birdsnest frag

Since these pics were taken, I have also pruned almost all of my halimeda sp. and placed it in my sump. I also removed all but one Kenya Tree. I think I am going to eventually phase out the Kenya Tree's as they are too invasive and drop too many babies.
